Re: DVCProHD capture 24p VariCam

Robert,

One at a time, put a 59.94 clip into a 23.98 sequence. Make sure it plays ok, if FCP snags the wrong frame to start the pulldown removal process on it will playback looking jerky... If that happens adjust the in-point of the clip by a frame or two. Once it plays smoothly, export it as a self-contained clip. Import the resulting clip and whal-ah: You've got it the way you wanted it.

You can use the sequence settings to change the sequence's time-code start time if you want to try and match up the original time-code, but 60 frame to 24 frame math can be tricky if you want it frame accurate.
